Dell Vostro 270s CPU Upgrade and BIOS Update
Hello! I recently received a Dell Vostro 270s from a friend and I wanted to upgrade the old and slow Core I3 3220 to an I5 or I7 but I was unable to find a supported CPU list or a BIOS update available for my system, can someone get me that list and a link to a BIOS update?

Well, some of todays i3's are faster than yesterdays's i7's (let's say 7 years ago).
I suggest you stick to processors that originally shipped with this specific unit ... custom Dell BIOS micro-code and all to deal with.
Actually, if it's just a bit slow ... I would just drop a $50 Kingston 120gb SSD in there (as bootable C: ) and call it done. It will boot and run faster than when new.
